Cornel West: MSNBC Is ‘Rent-A-Negro’ Phenomenon

Cornel West continued his attack on President Obama, following his speech after the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. This time, West went after MSNBC, calling the network a “rent-a-negro” phenomenon, EURweb reports. The Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the president’s biggest proponents, is a host on the network.

Well, West made a visit to Tavis Smiley’s radio show this past weekend and said Rev. Sharpton is still on “the Obama plantation” which has [kept] Sharpton from being more critical of the president and Attorney General Eric Holder.
